Is the "sorting" going to be easy to define? For instance I have only few albums, mostly singles and ep's etc and I sort them by the record label as its often more defining that genre sorting. Also suppose you have a SQL server with the data, can the devices
get the "views" from there too?

Great demo, thanks! I am consulting with a Media Connect development partner.

On July 13 you wrote that when the Media Connect software is released that supported devices would be listed on the Windows Media web site. There have been a lot of devices announced in press releases, but still no listing yet on the Windows Media site. There
is only media content there. Do you have a link to a device listing elsewhere? If not, about what date do you anticipate that the device listing will be on the Windows Media site? Will Media Connect have its own Web page and if so, about when? Right
now when I search on Microsoft's web site for Media Connect, all I get are the initial Jan. 4 announcement and the April 12 Design Considerations document.

Works well so far but... my media files are distributed across a number of PC's in my house (music, video and photos are all different systems) therefore a real need for me is the ability to share across the network. When will this become a reality?

We will be posting a web page listing compatible devices when we release the software. Look for it off the Windows Media website

Jason,

I looked at the supported players and did not see mention of the Gateway Connected DVD player that I have and you demoed with. Does that mean there is no hope of getting a firmware upgrade for this? (I would be willing to "beta" test what you have and forego
any official release)

i though i'd take the opportunity that this thread popped back up to the top to re-ask about Windows 2003 support

i ordered a Ruko M1000 and am anxiosuldy awaiting it's arrival, but unfortunately all my MP3 are on a 2003 server, not my main XP box. Since WMC supports /neither/ network shares nor running under 2003, i'm dreading having to go with some other server technology
(say, Winamp or iTunes)...

What are the chances (and time frames) of getting an update for WMC that will work under 2003 /or/ at least allow to share files from network drives...?

The system is currently on and works well, but I want to try Intel's ViiV to determine if ViiV is as functional as Windows Media Connect. I love the system but I need to know how to turn it off and on. I do not want to turn off file sharing from my computer,
only the use of WMC. Please advise.
